Watching the Hunter draw closer, everyone grew tense.
Although they could see the Hunter’s position, its Speed was simply too fast. If it attacked, those nearby might not even have ti to help.
Everyone stared grimly at the Hunter.
SWISH!
After closing to within 100 ters, the Hunter instantly changed its trajectory. It used the dense Zombie horde for cover, effortlessly dodging the hail of bullets and explosions as it rushed toward the rear of the convoy.
That was where the Holy Light rcenary Corps’ Armored Vehicles were located. The chas on top of those Armored Vehicles instantly raised their weapons, going on full alert.
The other chas didn’t just stand by idly. They all raised their Electromagnetic Railguns, preparing to provide ranged support.
But at that critical mont, the distant Spitter launched its attack. Globs of venom shot from its mouth, blanketing the convoy’s position with considerable accuracy.
The Spitter’s attack rate wasn’t slow. At full effort, it could spit three globs of venom per second, threatening all 16 Armored Vehicles in the entire convoy.
Moreover, it was attacking from a considerable distance—over 800 ters away from the convoy. At that range, and with buildings for cover, their side couldn’t pose any real threat to it.
"Quick, intercept the venom! That stuff is a thousand tis more terrifying than Corrosive Bullets. If even a drop touches a cha or an Armored Vehicle, it’ll be scrap!" Qin Wenbo shouted nervously over the combat channel.
In truth, he didn’t need to remind them. Anyone who had read the intel knew just how dangerous this venom was. As a result, the gun barrels that had been aid at the Hunter all turned to intercept the venom in the air.
So with poorer Gun Technique even activated their cha’s Micro Missile launch systems, intending to intercept the venom directly with them.
Roger was about to do just that, but fortunately, their rcenary Corps had soone like Lin Xinghai.
The mont the globs of venom entered the 500-ter range of his Spiritual Power, he raised his Electromagnetic Railgun and fired continuously. He swiftly shot down the globs heading for the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps, blowing them up mid-air.
Even Shen Han didn’t have ti to act.
The venom, blown apart in the air, rained down below. However, anything these "raindrops" touched, be it walls or tal, imdiately billowed with white smoke and lted at a visible rate.
Lin Xinghai had anticipated this, but what surprised him was what happened when the venom landed on the other Zombies. Their skin rapidly turned red, and their Speed, Attack Power, and other attributes increased dramatically.
’This venom doesn’t just attack, it can also buff its own kind?’ Lin Xinghai’s eyes narrowed slightly.
While they were intercepting the venom, the Hunter had already launched its assault on one of the Holy Light rcenary Corps’ Armored Vehicles.
Because the Spitter’s attack had disrupted their rhythm, the Hunter’s assault was a great success.
It slamd a hand against the side of the vehicle, its Sharp Claws effortlessly tearing through the high-strength Alloy. As it ripped open a gash, it also sliced several rcenaries inside the Armored Vehicle in half at the waist.
Fortunately, the cha Pilot on that Armored Vehicle reacted quickly enough. He slashed at the Hunter with his blade while simultaneously firing a volley of Micro Missiles, forcing the Hunter to retreat after a single strike rather than linger.
Otherwise, a few more swipes of its claws, and the entire Armored Vehicle would have likely been scrapped.
However, the Hunter’s assault wasn’t over so quickly. Using the Zombie horde for cover, it swiftly evaded the others’ attacks, changed targets, and charged toward the middle of the convoy to strike the Soaring Dragon rc’s Armored Vehicle.
It wasn’t just the Hunter; the Spitter’s venom attacks also showed no sign of stopping.
What’s more, the constant interception of the venom was causing it to splash everywhere, buffing more and more Zombies in the horde.
This was especially true for the High Level Zombies. After being enhanced, their Speed and reaction ti saw a massive boost, making them increasingly difficult to hit.
Even the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps was starting to feel the pressure mount.
However, everyone on the field was an elite rcenary who had been through countless life-or-death battles. Although they had been caught off guard at first, it was only because they had never witnessed Mutated Zombies coordinating their attacks. Once they adjusted, they quickly stabilized.
When the Hunter launched its second assault, the Soaring Dragon rc reacted swiftly.
Qin Wenbo imdiately issued commands over the communication channel, ordering the others to intercept the venom so that Tang Zhuofei could be freed up to deal with the Hunter.
It wasn’t just the Soaring Dragon rc; under Song Yao’s direction, Mo Fei and Tang Hao of the Holy Light rcenary Corps were also freed up and ready to attack at a mont’s notice.
Lin Xinghai watched this unfold but didn’t plan to intervene. His Perception Power could envelop the entire convoy, so he had "seen" the Hunter’s every move with perfect clarity.
With a Speed stat close to 2000 and completely uninjured, even he couldn’t hit it that easily.
Because even a bullet needs ti to travel from the barrel to its target. Although this ti is minuscule—so short that a normal person wouldn’t even have ti to react—the Hunter was no ordinary person. Its incredible Speed and terrifying reflexes, combined with instincts countless tis sharper than any beast’s, allowed it to weave through a hail of bullets with ease.
Even if Lin Xinghai himself were to shoot, he was only confident of hitting its body once the Hunter was within 100 ters.
But hitting its body didn’t guarantee a kill. With its incredible Speed, even if it couldn’t dodge the bullet completely, it could still avoid a fatal blow.
For this very reason, Lin Xinghai decided to wait. He would wait for it to attack their Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps, and when it got close enough, he would strike the decisive blow.
BANG!
When the Hunter closed to within 20 ters of the convoy, Tang Zhuofei fired. He led his shot slightly, predicting the Hunter’s movent.
But against a Hunter with terrifying instincts, such a predictive shot was completely useless.
Moreover, the Hunter ran on all fours like an ape, which ant it possessed terrifying agility. With an unconventional maneuver, it easily dodged the bullet.
Seeing this, Tang Zhuofei’s heart tightened. He didn’t dare attempt another predictive shot and instead aid directly at it before firing.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
He fired again and again, but still couldn’t land a hit. The Hunter was simply too nimble, always managing to dodge in the nick of ti.
However, the closer it got, the harder it was to dodge. With the added support of two other Divine Sharpshooters, Mo Fei and Tang Hao, the Hunter dared not linger after dodging a few more bullets and quickly retreated.
